I Have a Compass for Opportunity

After the Calamity-level Star Evil emerged, Tang Hua’s Soul muttered incantations to himself, then bit off the tip of his tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the brush in his hand.

Having done all this, Tang Hua’s Soul looked noticeably enfeebled, yet the cruelty and sinister smile erupting from his eyes made both Yin Yufu and the sword cultivator Lei Hanchi’s expressions change.

It is said that Daoist Huixie, Tang Hua’s Soul, inherited a legacy from an ancient demon cultivator, which not only allows him to draw various demons and monsters with that brush.

He also has the ability to briefly control Star Evil.

This scene before them raised a foreboding feeling in the hearts of the two Foundation Establishment state Jin Dynasty cultivators.

"Don’t let him succeed!" Yin Yufu’s eyes showed a determined expression, directly taking off the phoenix hairpin from her head, letting her long black hair cascade like a waterfall.

The tip of the phoenix hairpin pointed directly at Tang Hua’s Soul.

The phoenix hairpin is Yin Yufu’s Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, usually not needing to be removed to perform most spells, but once it’s removed, it means she’s fighting with her life.

Lei Hanchi also let out a long roar, the brown sword light on the sword’s edge illuminated half of the night sky, the long sword in his hand swelling to nearly three hundred zhang long, comparable to the height of mountains.

The two Foundation Establishments attacked with full force, unleashing their strongest strikes, trying to stop Tang Hua’s Soul.

However, Tang Hua’s Soul’s body vanished mid-air at that moment.

Along with him, the blood-stained brush in his hand also disappeared.

Both transformed into a bloody light shooting toward the Calamity-level Star Evil in the mountain, ultimately embedding into the Star Evil’s head.

The Star Evil’s body stiffened for a moment, its eyes closed, and when they opened again, they carried the same wickedness as Tang Hua’s Soul.

"I sought this Star Evil for half a year, and it’s a rare treasure among the Calamity-level Star Evils."

"Today, let the two of you taste its ferocious flames."

Tang Hua’s Soul’s sinister voice resounded between heaven and earth.

Then the ground shook, the Calamity-level Star Evil, towering even taller than the mountain peaks, leapt from the earth, leaving a depression in the mountain, actively confronting the means of Lei Hanchi and Yin Yufu.

Rumble! The trump cards of the two Foundation Establishments exploded directly on the ominous, muscle-and-bone intertwined body of the Calamity-level Star Evil, shaking and spreading in mid-air.

After a brief moment, Liou Yuan’s pupils contracted.

He saw the center where sword light and golden light of True Essence intertwined, the Calamity-level Star Evil’s fearsome body forcefully breaking through.

The attacks of the two Foundation Establishment great cultivators merely left slight marks on the flesh of that Calamity-level Star Evil.

Soon those scars vanished as the muscles of the Calamity-level Star Evil twitched.

"This Calamity-level Star Evil actually possesses such terrifying regenerative abilities!" It was the first time Liou Yuan had seen a Star Evil with regenerative capabilities.

The scars left by the two Foundation Establishments healed in the blink of an eye.

He finally understood why two years ago, those Jin Dynasty Foundation Establishments were defeated by this Calamity-level Star Evil.

"A Star Evil with such abilities must be killed swiftly with thunderous means, giving it no time to recover. Without the joint assault of three to five Foundation Establishments, it’s hard to kill."

In summary, Liou Yuan didn’t think Yin Yufu and the sword cultivator could defeat this Calamity-level Star Evil.

Having come to a conclusion, Liou Yuan didn’t hesitate anymore, as he hadn’t forgotten his purpose for coming to Qiwen Mountain.

One was for opportunity, and the other was for this Calamity-level Star Evil.

Whether Qiwen Mountain held opportunities was uncertain, but this Calamity-level Star Evil was right before him.

"Whether they can kill this Calamity-level Star Evil or not."

"Mark it with the Fixed Star Compass first."

Upon deciding this, he muttered incantations under his breath, simultaneously forming a seal with his hands, activating the Fixed Star Compass still floating within his body.

Having held the Fixed Star Compass for so long, Liou Yuan had figured out a way to activate it without needing to take out the Compass.

That is, to aim the magic spell at his own body, the effect is similar to taking out the Compass and activating it, avoiding the risk of others seeing him use the Compass.

Clang! The light of the Compass vibrated within Liou Yuan’s body.

The Fixed Star Compass had absorbed so much Star Evil energy over the years, its survey range could cover an area up to ten miles, which included the entirety of Qiwen Mountain.

At the moment the Fixed Star Compass was activated, the whole shape of Qiwen Mountain was mapped out above the Compass.

Every rock, pine tree, and even snow on Qiwen Mountain was clearly visible.

Liou Yuan quickly focused his attention on the map of Qiwen Mountain, soon noticing certain peculiarities.

He saw there were seven ancient pines at the mountain peak location emitting weak milky white light.

The Fixed Star Compass marks anything with spiritual attributes, clearly those seven ancient pines had something strange about them.

Moreover, Liou Yuan saw an oddly shaped stone at the mountainside of Qiwen Mountain also with spiritual light flickering.

"If Qiwen Mountain truly has the follow-up magic for the Talismanic Skill, perhaps it’s within those seven ancient pines."

"That stone, on the other hand, seems more like some sort of spiritual mineral."

Liou Yuan glanced at the two places marked on the Compass and drew his conclusion.

Meanwhile, the Fixed Star Compass also provided feedback.

[Detects Spirit Rhinoceros Flame Crystal]

[Detects Pan Song Qixing Gate]

[Detects Alien Star Evil Aura]

[Danger Level: Level 1 Class A]

[Slaying the Alien Star Evil grants Talent: Rebirth Blood]

The Fixed Star Compass detected a total of three target pieces of information.

That Spirit Rhinoceros Flame Crystal should be the spiritual material contained within the stone formation at the mountainside of Qiwen Mountain.

The Pan Song Qixing Gate corresponds with the seven ancient pines, directly pointing to those seven ancient pines.

As for that Star Evil, though the distance was quite far, its aura had already spread to Qiwen Mountain.
